I'm really loving this version of Fair Annie (child 62) off Burd Ellen's latest album, which pairs folk songs (and one Alasdair Roberts song, which feels like a worthy exception) with major arcana. Enjoy!
One can write so many essays on how folk songs offer a voice for women's pain and rage at the injustices they face, and you could certainly write one about Fair Annie, first documented as a ballad in the 1800s but linked to Marie de France's "La Fresne" probably written around 1194. How rare and wonderful to have a source date and and initial author for this one, for all that we can't track all the hands that carried it through the intervening centuries.

Between Ellen calling Heidi a force to be reckoned with and her saying to give Tim a hard time I 100% believe she’s all for Heidi not turning into the fully submissive servant’s heart fundie wife that some fundies like Jill expect their daughters to be and I’m all for it
Don't get me wrong, if Ellen/Heidi are beefing with Jill I'm all for it, but I'm hesitant to give Ellen too much credit bc at the end of the day, she became friends with Jill in the first place bc they shared a lot of similar beliefs. Even if Ellen is a little more flexible with her standards let's be real........if you're raising your daughters to wear only skirts, dresses, and ultra modest clothing in a conservative Baptist household, the likelihood that they're being encouraged to go into higher education or careers with no pressure to get married or have kids asap is very slim, in my opinion.
and yes I know one of their grown daughters wears pants and short sleeves now and it's cool that they haven't shunned her for that (like Jill probably would) but that just puts their family on the same level as like, the Duggars as far as how progressive they are regarding female autonomy......the bar is in hell, basically.
Idk I really hope at some point Ellen and Heidi both call out Jill for her bullshit don't get me wrong, I am just not totally convinced that their beef (if they have some) is over "traditional" gender roles being enforced, or Heidi being a submissive wife, bc my guess would be that the Coveretts believe in that too.

if i make a million posts about one topic the likely case is that i saw something about when i first woke up and this prompted me to think about it extensively. one of my many fatal flaws is that i have to allocate at least an hour every morning to rolling a topic around in my head and commenting on it, first out loud to myself, and then unfortunately for everyone here, on my blog 😁

Who was your first muse?
VIOLA!!!! FROM THE WITCH'S HOUSE!!! LOOK AT HER ISN'T MY DAUGHTER CUTE?!
but real viola, not ellen wearing a viola suit.
Ah, yes. 2014 Tumblr. A time when Earthbound/Mother games and rpg horror games were trending. The Witch's House was an amazing rpg horror game, I've been so spoiled by it actually scaring me that the other big two made me feel so disappointed. (Loved Ib, found Mad Father meh). I played true Viola, because the true ending broke me so bad I need to write a Viola winning against Ellen. After I revamped her I followed closely to canon but kept it at Diary of Ellen canon ;v; I mostly stuck to mother and Ib community at the time. Phew...

Sherman's thoughts on gender roles are always something else.
Selling items at a table? Absolutely not for ladies. But managing the whole thing? Perfectly fine.
And then the, "Still, do as you please." - the man knew his wife was really the boss and his opinion didn't matter anyway.
